Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 Championship Review

Up Close

The Sonar comes in a substantial box and the packaging is very nice with clear text and product images. Very impressive.

      

Inside, rather than the vacuum-formed plastic we were expecting, we have a branded, padded, carry case. A great touch for a headset designed for taking with you.

      

With the Sonar out the box you can see the earcups “with wings” to accommodate the extra speakers. The silver, red and black are a nice combination. The headband is embossed with a giant Sonar logo.

      

If you decide not to use the enclosed carry case the Sonar does fold down to a fairly compact size for packing in a bag.

The in-line remote has four wheels, a toggle and a switch. The Sub, Center, Front and Rear are all controlled via volume wheels, the microphone is an off-on switch and, rather curiously, the volume is a toggle so you hold it one way to gradually increase the volume and, obviously, the other to lower it. Why this isn’t just another wheel we’re unsure.
